Illustrated & Animated: the Collections Of Illustrated & Animated: The Collections of Burningham & Blundall (514) Wed, 28th Feb 2018, Edinburgh Lot 162 Estimate: £5000 - £7000 + Fees JOHN MICHAEL BLUNDALL (1937-2014) PUPPET OF PARKER FROM THUNDERBIRDS carved and painted wood and fabric 57cm x 15cm x 7cm Note: Aloysius Parker was created in 1965 when Gerry and Sylvia Anderson commissioned the puppet character for the pioneering Supermarionation television seriesThunderbirds. John Blundall sculpted the original puppet for the show, referencing "typical, clichéd butlers in black-and-white English comedy films". He commented that he "made Parker look so unlike the other puppets just to be bloody-minded, because I wanted to prove that to produce really strong characters in puppets, you need to stylize them and find two or three characteristics to combine and communicate with." David Graham, who voiced the character with a heavy cockney accent, had been taken by Gerry Anderson to hear the voice of a certain wine waiter who was supposed to have been a royal butler. "I just made him a bit more villainous", said Graham. Parker became a celebrated TV "star" on both sides of the Atlantic. While the original, screen-used Parker was made from fibreglass, Blundall carved this later, non screen-used version from wood. In the serial, Parker - nicknamed "Nosey" - was butler to Lady Penelope Creighton-Ward, a young aristocrat who was a field agent for International Rescue. Parker had a criminal past and underworld status. Lady Penelope discovered him robbing a safe belonging to an oil tycoon and enlisted his help in her espionage activities. However, his official duties included being a faithful butler and chauffeur of her pink Rolls-Royce, FAB 1..

Jonathan Bignell Television for children: problems of national specificity and globalisation In the developed nations of Europe, and in the USA, it has long been assumed that television should address children. Thus, notions of what ‘children’ are have been constructed, and children are routinely discussed as an audience category and as a market for programmes.

  • Los Charlatanes
    España vuelve a ir bien… regresan los gestores culturales MÚSICA, HUMOR, PICANTE Teatro del Astillero cumple en 2020 el vigésimo quinto aniversario de su nacimiento como la única compañía formada únicamente por autores, así como espacio acotado para la reflexión, incitación, ensayo y búsqueda de nuevos recursos para la textualidad dramática. A partir de 1995 Teatro del Astillero inició un camino en el que el compromiso se asumió como artístico y la libertad formal en la escritura teatral se buscó desterrando el estilo individual para encontrar la forma propia de cada obra. Para Teatro del Astillero escribir textos es como construir artefactos hechos de materiales tan pesados como el hierro pero que pueden flotar como barcos y arribar a puertos lejanos. Y un artefacto, como reconoce la RAE, es una obra mecánica hecha con arte. España vuelve a ir bien… regresan los gestores culturales Los charlatanes La colonia de pioneros humanos en Marte sufre la cruel dictadura de los gemelos Hynkel y Napaloni, quienes desean imponer una nueva religión: el Capislamismo, así como obligan a sus hermanos a realizar trabajos en prácticas eternas y a convertirse en emprendedores por decreto. El caos en Marte ha desembocado en el colectivismo por pillaje, la recolección errante y los siete pecados capitales como diaria costumbre. Por este motivo, dos valientes marcianos, el capitán Scarlett y Lady Penélope, huyen del planeta rojo con el encargo de entregar un mensaje de socorro a sus hermanos terrestres camuflándose en la Tierra como gestores culturales. Los THUNDERBIRDS es una serie de televisión inglesa basada en supermarionetas de ciencia ficción y aventura para niños creada por AP Films de Gerry Anderson.
